Abelard
Do I hold you?
Do I ask you to go?
Do I touch you?
If I dare what I mean
Would I frighten you?
Would I make a scene
And cause you to turn away?
Héloïse
Do I hold you?
Do I ask you to stay?
Do I kiss you?
If I dare what I dream
I would find a way to hold you
And make you stay in my arms
Abelard
I can't dream at night without seeing you
I can't see you standing there and not touch you
I can't touch you and not want you
I can't forget you, no matter what I do
Héloïse
I'm not worried
That the dark of the night will deceive us
For the light of your love
Abelard
And the truth in your touch
Both
Will protect us
Abelard
I must hold you
I must ask you to stay
I must touch you
Both
I don't care what they say
What they think, what they do
I must hold you
I must hold you
Hold you
